MURDER IN HALIFAX COUNTY.
HORRIBLE BUTcHERY NEAR OAK
LEVEL.


PAGES HALIFAX Co, VA, July.
31.-Saturday evening a horrible
tragedy occurred in the neighbor'
hood of Oak Level, ten miles from
this place, the participants being
Jack Adkins and James Hender-
son known as Crack Henderson,,
white farm hands. The two men
left Oak Level on horseback abou I
dark tor their respective homes.-
Adkins lived at Mr.. Scott Boyd's
and Henderson on Mr.. FiresheeVs
place. They bad been drinking,
and it is said that Adkins was
very much under the influence OF
liquor. During the night Mrs.
Adkins was alarmed at the return
of her husbands horse riderless;
and sending a negro down the road
TO look for the missing man, the
tragical discovery was soon made.
The lifeless body was lying in the
road very near home. Adkins had
been stabbed TO death, and so Du-
merOus and deep were the gashes
that the body had the appearance
of having been tangled by some
swift revolving machine.
Sunday morning early Hender-
SOL surrendered himself TO an
officer. lie said that he killed
Adkins in self.defence, displaying
as evidence two or three scratches
OH his BODY, which he declared bad
been made by his companion. But
after a preliminary trial before the
magistrate Henderson was sent Oh
to the grand jury and was taken
to the jail at Halifax Courthouse
1t is said that Adkins and Hender.
son had quarreIed once before and
most people discredit Henderson's
statement about the matter OF self
defence. Henderson is a man of
family and Adkins leaves five small
children.

Mr.. GladstOne's confidence In the
restoration of the Liberals to pOWer
appears to worry the Liberal Union
section of the Tory party. But the
recent elections show that Mr.. Glad
stone has sound reasons for the
faith that is in him. lfsuccess can
be won, and Mr.. Gladstone thinks
that it can, without the aid of the
deserters from the Liberal ranks, it
will be all the more gratifying.
The number of Indian agencies,
land offices, lighthouses and other
Government establishments that

prisingly large. High officials from
Washington are swarming around
the country on this business, at
Government expense. In former
days the Democratic newspapers
called such trips "Oflicial junkets.D
Now that they have increased so in
number they are dignilied by the
name of "inspectiOn tours" If they
keep on increasing this way there

The English sparrow, it seems,
was responsible for the recent burn.
ing OF the Paterson n. j., iron
works. The birds had gathered old
carriers, handkerchiefs, ticks,
straws, papers, paper collars, etc,
and built nests of them in such
profusion that, when spark lodged
there, fire was inevitable. 1t will
be remembered that the birds were
at least suspected of being concern
ed in the burning of the Rev. DR..
Parker's church at Hartford, Conn,
a few years ago. And, indeed, it
IS safe to connect them with large
part of the mischief that is done;
they are a nuisance. In Bermuda
the government has formally UNI
dertaken to drive them out. They
have driven away choice birds and
have themselves increased beyond
endurance. The way the war is
made on them is by Offering a re.
ward for the sparrow eggs, on the
assumption that when the eggs are
all secured the future will be safe.
1t is a queer reasoning, but the
government backs its theory with
cash, and last year paid out over
81, 800 for the sparrow eggs.

BLIND TOM AGAIN.

Judge Bond sitting in Baltimore
on Saturday ratified an agreement
in the case of Blind Tom and his
mother, Charity Virgins, against
Gen. JAS. Y. Bethune, OF Warren
ton. The suit was originally
brought for an account of the prof
its of Toms concerts. In April
last, before the case came to hear.
ing, an agreement, subject to the
approval of the court. was entered
into between Messrs. Leigh Il. Page,
of Richmond and A. j. Lerche, of
New York, counsel for the plaintiff,
and Mr.. S. Ferguson Beach, of this
city, counsel for Gen. Bethune, by
which Gen. Bethune was to deliver
Tom to the custody ofthe court and
pay 1880 in cash in settlement of
all claims against him as committee
of Tom and as surety for his son,
John G.. Bethune. Mr.. Lerche, at
ter signing the agreement, filed a
petition asking the court to set
aside the agreement, and that Gen.
Bethune be committed until he
should pay $4,000, alleged to be
due since March 1881, and he re.
quired to deliver up Tom. Judge
Bond Overruled the motion and ap.
proved the agreement, The order
requires that Gen. Bethune deliver
Tom to the court at this city on the
18th inst, and pay the money by
September 10. Judge Bond said
he would order that Tom after.
